Hi all,

Voting for stories and authors are over. Go you! We had an incredible
number of people voting, both in terms of votes submitted and people
participating. A group of volunteers including myself are busy getting
the results ready to post and hope to do that in a few days. In the
meantime, there's one more thing you can vote on: award banners.

Over the past months we have received eighty-four banners created by
Nienor Niniel, Rhapsody, and Thevina Finduilas. This is enough to give
us a banner in every category. For eighteen of those awards more than
one banner was submitted, so we have polls decide which one will be used.

This year the polls to decide this are hosted at our website instead
of at our Yahoo group. This is a big change from last year, but we
hope it will be much more convenient.

To vote, please go here:

If you are curious which banners will be given to the winners where
only one was submitted, feel free to visit

http://www.mefawards.net/fanart/categories.php?cat_id=2

to see which banners have been created.

If you run into any problems, please contact the fanart admin at:
banners@mefawards.net

Happy voting!

This was wonderful!! Very easy compared to previous years. it's
always been a struggle for me to download and vote on the banners and
this went very quickly.

Thanks!

All praises go to Rhapsody! I admitted last spring to her that I know very
little about graphics and would love to hand this part of the awards over to
someone else, and she was insufficiently reluctant. ;-) She came up with
this new layout. I am not on dial-up but even for me it was so much easier.
I imagine the differnce for you guys is even greater.

I love this! I didnt even realize banners could be submitted. I
hope I can remember and try making one or two next year, just for
fun! The voting was very easy, once i realized I had to click on the
links...i actually tried 3 times before it came to me what the thing
said! So embarrassing!

Hi Nautika,

That is actually one of my favourite parts of the awards to watch. I don't
create (visual) art myself, but am very impressed with the creativity and
artistry of so many of the banners.

And thank you for voting! Lots of people have - again, am duly impressed by
people's involvement. :-)
